I'm wondering if I should designate this as "solved" now. It's working okay at the moment! Also, in your opinion, should I hang on to the Windows.old folder? It's taking up 22 GB of space on my SSD. Don't like that.

BTW, nobody on the Adobe forums has provided a solution to the icon issue. It's weird because it only occurs on the start menu (icons look fine in Windows Explorer) and almost only with Adobe products (though there's an Amazon Music logo that seems to be affected, too).

Stigus - the new account that you made, was it a local account or MS account? I'm wondering if all accounts can get corrupted or just MS accounts.

Thanks!

Hmm, It was a MS account actually. But I am sure it has happened to local only accounts too, and at that point one of the windows functions that stopped working was the "Sign in using a MS account" option. Only tried to do it at that point because I was hoping an insider update would have it fixed. Small hope I guess, but it couldn't get much worse.

Any info we can gather on this pretty horrible error is good though, hopefully someone from MS swings by and notices it. I am currently just using a backup I took after a clean install and most of what I need installed, and restoring it after everything is broken :P Takes around a week or something with my system working perfectly, and then suddenly messed up notification time and no start menu

My account that was corrupted was also a MS account. As a test, I have switched all accounts to local accounts & created a new profile for the corrupted account. So far they have not become corrupted. It's been about 2 weeks, so hopefully I have not jinxed myself.

I have not done any resets because it seems like its a corruption within a specific user account and not windows.

I saw this on another ten forums from another user:I found that opening task manager and doing an end task on the Local Security Authority Process ( 5 )would reboot the computer and clear the error.

Press Ctrl Alt Del buttons at the same time . The Task Manager window opens. Then locate the process I mentioned above. Right click it and choose end task. Wait while the computer reboots.

I haven't had the chance to try it, but wondered if you've seen this (or anyone else on this thread). And, I was wondering if it worked for them.

REALLY wish MS would fix this problem!!!!

Yeah, using a local account now too, after literally just recovering my fresh install from a backup.. Hopefully it will work for a while this time, otherwise I will try doing that!
